Surveying Essentials Lunch-N-Learn

Are you working with surveyors but not exactly sure what they do?

Maybe you answer the phone and speak with potential clients who sometimes ask quite technical questions that you have no idea how to answer!  Or perhaps you work in finance and have to put some interesting terms on invoices that make you wonder why?

Or perhaps you are just new to surveying and were kind of hoping someone would give you a quick overview.

The Surveyors Academy have designed a "lunch n learn" program to help support staff and people new to surveying understand the basics. Join us for lunch each Wednesday in September as we cover:

  1. What Is Surveying? - Including the terminology uses

  2. The Types of Surveying - Cadastral, engineering, scanning, etc.

  3. The Project Life of a Survey - Explaining the work-flow of a project which can sometimes last years!

  4. Where To Find Answers - Increasing your connections and overall knowledge base

These lunch time sessions will be supported by the team at Surveyors Australia to ensure we hit the high points of what you need to know.
